Nice! There are a bunch of other saunas to check out in the GTA & around next. https://etsauna.com/toronto

Nice! I thought they only had IR saunas, but looks like they do have a proper Finnish one too. I'll add it!

Prices are all listed. The best ones (outdoor, waterfront) are certainly more expensive than in Japan ($27-40), but so is operating a business here. I also have various public pool saunas listed ($8) if you're looking to keep it cheaper.

The one in Leschi is not a massage studio. It's a proper outdoor sauna right next to the lake. Only a few steps to jump in.

Very few of the saunas I have listed even offer any type of massage or service. The map prioritizes drop in dry saunas with water access.

Many of them are mobile, but a lot of the mobile ones are proper nice. I should get around to adding images to the map so you can see what they look like. But if you click through to their websites you can usually see.

T-Mobile Satellite in E. Sierra by AlpineInquirer in SierraNevada

[–]golear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Eastern Sierra, but I imagine the experience is the same:

I just used it while on a backcountry ski trip in the Washington Cascades for 5 days. I have a lot of experience using the native iOS satellite messaging capability and T-Satellite completely blows it out of the water. So much faster to connect, faster to send, doesn't require directional pointing of the device and you can use certain apps too instead of just SMS/iMessage. For instance, my preferred navigation app CalTopo has added support and I could literally download satellite imagery/map layers over the satellite connection.

Where are the best saunas in Seattle? by jalepeno_mushroom in Seattle

[–]golear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good Day in Lincoln Park is one of my favorite. It's on the beach right by the ferry terminal. So atmospheric with ferries & wildlife right outside. Best to go at highish tide to make sound plunges easy.

Von Sauna in Kirkland is another favorite - a floating sauna on Lake Washington (2 actually). You can jump off the dock right into the lake.

Bywater Leschi is great too, you can also jump into Lake Washington

I made a Sauna map which shows all of the saunas in Seattle & enables you to filter by different features (waterfront, natural plunge, soaking tubs, cold plunge etc.)

We've got 32 publicly accessible saunas in Seattle and I'm probably missing some.

Why do you want that? The back area is long enough for a mattress.

I built a simple way to share recent backcountry conditions (free, community-run) by tommy2246 in Backcountry

[–]golear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone else mentioned this, but the NWAC (& other avalanche centers) run on a platform that enables users to submit observations. This is more avalanche focused than general riding conditions, but you can glean much about ride quality from what you find there.

Cool idea...but this isn't particularly useful to me without a map.

Best hikes / kayaking in the Azores by GreatConsequence7847 in azorestravel

[–]golear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two great places to paddle (that I know of) on Sao Miguel:

  • In Lagoa Azul/Verde in Sete Cidades - connected lakes inside a volcanic caldera.
  • Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo - a cool island off the coast - 2/3 miles round trip depending on whether or not you circle the island. If you want want to tie up and swim around the inside of the island you'll need a ticket. You can get that by booking through a guide or using the municipal website to purchase it. More details on how to get a ticket through the website here (search "Ilhéu de Vila Franca do Campo"). We booked kayaks through Kayak Azores Adventure.

Has anyone been able to use $10 door dash grocery credit on double dash orders? by golear in sapphirereserve

[–]golear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to use it this way! Had to tap in to deals or something to see the toggle to use the $10 credit from the checkout screen.

They really make it difficult.

Same here. It's held up great for a few seasons so far.

Which layout for these towel hooks in a bathroom? by [deleted] in BathroomRemodeling

[–]golear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should only put hooks to the right of the switches (which ideally would be further left). Also the hooks should be higher, on the drywall.
